Over the Hills and Far Away Gary Moore

[Intro]
They came for him one winter's night
Arrested, he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery
His pistol had been found

[Verse 1]
They marched him to the station house
He waited till the dawn
And as they led him to the dock
He knew that he'd been wronged

"You stand accused of robbery,"
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom

[Chorus]
Over the hills and far away
For ten long years he'll count the days
Over the mountains and the seas
A prisoner's life for him there'll be

[Verse 2]
He knew that it would cost him dear
But yet he dare not say
Just where he'd been that fateful night
A secret it must stay
